Do you ever feel it’s just too hard being in your own business? Are you sick of dealing with people problems? Do you worry about paying the bills?

Do you hope that new prospect will finally become a client? Do you wake up in the middle of the night stressing that the money you’ve invested in that special project may not work and you’ll be in more debt than ever? Are you concerned that nothing you do seems to be working or not working well enough to give you the results you want?

Have you ever heard the saying ‘work always expands to fill the time available? So what does that mean? It means that the longer you have to get something done, the longer you will take to do it. save time

One of my clients recently committed to taking every Friday off. He blocked out the time in his diary and guess what? He gets the same amount of work done in the 4 days. Because we’ve been working together, his business is running much more effectively which has made it easy for Gary to step away.

Are you one of those people who bounce out of bed at 6.00a.m. and race to the gym for a workout and by the time you leave for work, you’ve showered, had breakfast and organised everyone else in your household.  You arrive at work and you’re on fire!

Or do you wake up at the last possible second and drag your weary body out of bed, walk around like a zombie and gradually get yourself organised? You need your morning coffee to snap you out of your sleepy state and finally drag yourself into work.

Did you know that 60-90% of all doctor visits are for stress-related illnesses? Stress is costly in terms of your health, relationships and performance. When you’re affected by too much stress your body wears down and you get sick.

Highly disorganized people seem to be more susceptible to sickness as they are always under extreme pressure, running from one disaster to another. They fail to realise  they constantly repeat the same mistakes by not addressing the fundamental issues that are the cause of their problems and guess what that is? Their own personal disorganisation.

How often do you let your time get chewed up by others? Now you don’t consciously set out to let people waste your time, however without realising it you are probably allowing it to happen.

One of my clients, John, recently hired a new team member. At his previous workplace, Barry had a boss who always had his door open and let the staff wander in. Barry’s boss liked to have an ‘open door’ to show that he was accessible to his team. That sounds very noble but the reality is, that Barry’s ex boss would get very little done for himself as he was constantly letting others interrupt him.
